How easy is it to get to Scilly Cay, Anguilla from St Maarten?

I'm going to St Maarten for the first time and would love to return to Scilly Cay for their cookout,, I guess I take the ferry to Anguilla and then....How long would it take and how much would transportation cost?

It's fairly easy. Take the ferry from Marigot (French side of SXM) to Blowing Point on AXA - If memory serves me correct the 20 minute ride will cost you $20US PP each way. From Blowing point you can take a cab to the dock near Silly Cay - the 15 to 20 minute ride should run you about $18US to $20US each way. The 3 minute boat ride from the shore to Silly cay is free.

Believe the Ferry ride is $15 each way plus a $3 departure tax paid in Marigot. The cab from Blowing Point to Island Harbour is $30 each way. You have to pay a $20 departure tax at Blowing Point when leaving so you're looking at about $113 plus what you apend at Scilly Cay--Expensive outing

WOW! Cab fare is up since we last made the trip.

Thanks, Howard for the pricing clarification.

it's certainly doable in terms of time but is expensive!
Howard is right. The ferry alone is $15 each way and there is a $3.00 departure tax on both ends, coming and going.

The 'package deal' price for a day trip to Anguilla from Marigot yesterday was $40 for the round trip, all txes included.
